Learning Objectives

Over 6 years, the medical study educates the students to a level of qualification which enables them to function as house officers at hospitals. This type of medical qualification is comprehensive and covers knowledge and skills as well as attitudes. It is the Faculty's responsibility to design a programme that will take the students to this goal during the stipulated period of study. A necessary part of the process is to let the students know how they are doing from time to time in relation to the drawn path and whether they are able to follow the expected ascent in qualifications towards the goal. This is the purpose of the exams, while the learning objectives aim to guide the students in advance as to what they are expected to know for the exam.
